馬田的心事

This is the first animated short I've worked on in about two years. One of my favorite bands is the charming tweepop duo from Hong Kong, my little airport. When I first heard their song 馬田的心事 (Martin's Mind), I felt compelled to create animation to accompany it because the lyrics struck a chord with me. I began storyboarding part of it last December and had been working on it on and off since then. It's somewhere between an animatic and animation since it would be unrealistic for me to create a fully animated short in such a small window of time. I recognize that this isn't "good animation", but I may go back and clean it up sometime later. I'm most proud of the fence scene, which happens to be the first one I worked on. The ending was the only part that I hadn't planned out beforehand, and it developed organically as I was working on the animation. It was cool to see what spontaneously burst from my mind as I worked. I have an idea for a resolution at the end. I guess we'll see if I will get to it...

Other than the brief speaking part, the lyrics don't correspond to the action, so they're not all that important to watch the short. If you're curious about what the song is about, here's the gist of it: A guy is debating whether or not to reveal his feelings to his crush because he's uncertain of what would happen. He hates how she makes him feel, yet can't figure out why he wants to keep trying.

我　很想　很想打俾你 我　很想　很想打俾你 但我知道　如果我　真的打俾你 你就會　驚我想約你 我不想　你知道　我想你 我不想　你知道　我想你 若你知道　我真的　很想　很想你 你就會　不再跟我睇戲 我愈想你　我就愈想你 做什麼都沒有心機 我愈想你　我就愈憎你 為什麼你要將我捨棄 在樓梯的轉角　我只能偷看你 在茶水間的雪櫃旁　我們擦身而過 你的眼睛　你的頭髮　你的身高 我都不敢細看 我愈想你　我就愈想你 做什麼都沒有心機 我愈想你　我就愈憎你 為什麼你要將我捨棄 我愈憎你　我就愈生氣 為什麼你不給我驚喜 我愈生氣　我就愈小器 為什麼我要將你念記
